According to the New York Post, public records state Mateen and Yusufiy divorced in July 2011 after marrying in 2009.

Mateen has been married to his new wife, Salman, since at least 2013 and they were raising a three-year-old son.

Since the shooting, Salman has gone into hiding and deleted her social media pages, including Facebook.

The Sun reports Salman was registered as living at the same place as Mateen in St Lucie.

It’s not known whether Salman and Mateen were still together at the time of the shooting and according to the New York Post, she is now registered as living in Rodeo, California, about 40 minutes northeast of San Francisco.

She previously lived in California and Illinois and went to Heald College-Concord in California, a business-career college which is now closed.

Mateen’s father Seddique Mateen, told NBC News his son was angered when he saw two men kissing in front of his wife and child in Miami.

“They were kissing each other and touching each other and he said, ‘look at that. In front of my son they are doing that’,” the father said.
